Holsters


For the past 6 to 8 months I've been making holsters. Mostly because they are expensive, and for the money I can create as good as any of the makers are doing.

I have learned a lot about leather. Most holsters, that you buy, are made from Vegetable dyed tooling shoulders. Leather is sold by weight and most holsters are 8/9 oz.

SO of course I have to do it different. I've been using a 5/6 oz leather and have been very happy with the results so far. Ignore the the clips, they came from another holster and I was testing the fit.

More to come...
